Carnage renewed

Posted by: Hammer / 4:12 PM

The American Family Association, fresh after driving Disney to the brink of arguably, though not causally, inferior corporate growth, has set its sights on Ford Motor Company. Beware the carnage to Ford's bottom line! Anyway, here's the reason:
One week after calling an end to its nine-year boycott of the Walt Disney Company, the American Family Association has launched another nationwide campaign. The target this time? The world's second-largest automaker.

On Monday (May 30), AFA announced it has launched a boycott against the Ford Motor Company because of the company's track record for supporting the homosexual agenda, including homosexual "marriage." The pro-family group's founder and chairman, Donald E. Wildmon, says Ford's financial support of the homosexual agenda goes far beyond a few donations.

"From redefining family to include homosexual marriage; to giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to support homosexual groups and their agenda; to forcing managers to attend diversity training on how to promote the acceptance of homosexuality; to sponsoring a commitment ceremony -- that is, 'marriage'; to sponsoring 'gay pride' parades, Ford leads the way," Wildmon states. "The goal of every homosexual organization supported by Ford is to get homosexual marriage legalized."

According to Wildmon, there was so much material demonstrating the automaker's track record on promoting the homosexual agenda that his group decided it was best to simply give it its own website: BoycottFord.com.

For the record, at the close of business today, Ford's shares stood at $9.98. Earnings per share was at $1.39. There's a conference call on sales results tomorrow that might give a better metric for watching the success or failure of the boycott.

Anyway, for those with strong stomachs, here's one of the offending ads:

It's a Volvo ad from 2003 in Australia. Why Joe Six Pack who works the second shift at the Dearborn Assembly Plant should be punished for that, I do not know.
